Right, how dare a woman be angry and let it show. She should have saved her annoyances for her power knitting circle.

(Not that this particular little Kitty anecdote has any merit more than the other 500 fantasy posts she makes).

Meanwhile, Trump blasts his own campaign staff and calls them stupid on a power conference call.
But that's ok because he's a man.

Best line "To be great you can't be small". - which is what the Donald is.

Can't wait for her to move into the WH next January and enjoying the moment with my granddaughter!
Inclusive. I think not. She doesn't see her voters as Americans. She sees them as separate groups to be treated differently just like Obama only he waited until after he was elected.

It is a great moment indeed. I was proud of my state, New Mexico, where Hillary and Bernie each got more votes than Trump yesterday. Both of them crushed Trump:

Clinton: 110,506
Sanders: 104,006
Trump: 73,747

Same happened in California, numbers not yet final.

While I don't agree with Hillary on every issue, I know she's not going to send us back to the 1950's where the majority of City-Data posters are apparently still living. I have been voting since 1981 and could never have imagined a candidate for President as stupid, bigoted, and unprepared as Donald Trump. But I give him credit for opening up the eyes of a large number of Americans to the dangers of his candidacy, and getting minorities to register in record numbers-- to defeat him and elect Hillary! This will be a boon for Democrats for years to come.

Like the last novelty election, the best representative of that demographic that made it a novelty was an extremely poor choice.


Too bad hillary is the first woman to be a prez contender...at least just for a while. Nothing to be proud of except her gender for legacy purposes.


If obama endorses her, she will be exonerated by the DOJ. If Obama doesn't endorse her she will be convicted.

Well, if things look close come October, Donald can just "identify" as a woman. That will get him both the women's vote and the emo vote. I would bet he would still look better than Hillary in a 1980's pants suit.

And this, fine people of CD (and Waldo) - is why the GOP will not win this election.

Actually, it would be a better world if girls knew a world where it didn't matter - where your qualifications, and NOT your gender, were the determining factor. Because voting for someone because they ARE a certain gender is no different than NOT voting for someone because they are a certain gender.

I agree with you. This morning on Joe, they compared the two speeches given last night. Trump's was full of "I, I, I" and "me, me, me". Hillary's was "we" and "us". Trump is all about himself, his businesses, his lawsuits--couldn't care less about the country or the Republican Party (quite evident this week).

Even the speech venues were striking in contrast. Trump hunkered down in his country club surrounded by beautiful people and designer clothes made in China, with a canned speech to a canned crowd, and Hillary in a Brooklyn naval yard with a packed crowd of real Americans with real emotion.

He's going to go negative and attack Bill Clinton and drag us back to the 90s. Nobody cares except his base--he'll turn off everyone else. She's going to talk about the economy, the country, families, kids, education, the future. As the GOP splits, I think the Dems will unite. Bernie supporters who hate her may drift off to Jill Stein, but Trump is not going to attract progressive millenials with his exclusionary nationalism, walls, and 50s vision of turning America into industrial cities full of manufacturers.
